About Mountainfilm on Tour
Mountainfilm on Tour inspires us – it informs us; it challenges us; it makes us laugh; it even makes us cry; it makes us mad as hell and, above all, it shows us the power of film to change the world.
In 2000, the Mountainfilm in Telluride festival embarked on a new journey—Mountainfilm on Tour. Each year, a selection of films from the international film festival are taken on the road to reach audiences who otherwise wouldn’t have a chance to experience the festival. Those films display themes of adventure, mountaineering, remarkable personalities and important environmental and social messages.
Mountainfilm on Tour is hosted by:
- schools
- universities
- outdoor clubs
- other film festivals
- retailers
- environmental groups
- museums
- libraries
Each show is custom-tailored to the venue, event and community in question, and is often used as a fund-raiser for other non-profit organizations.
Mountainfilm has always been associated with high-caliber films and a commitment to social and environmental issues. With Mountainfilm on Tour, anyone can now bring that spirit to their community and invite audiences to celebrate, to contemplate, and most importantly, to get involved.
